Without a functioning liver we would die, because of the many processes the liver does for the body.

This is the case of all animals, and death comes swiftly.

In humans the liver is the biggest organ and it is vital to the body’s metabolism.

Think of it as a kind of storage / disposal unit, as it stores glycogen and gets rid of toxins and red blood cells.

In this way it’s obvious why the liver plays such an important role in the functioning of the body, hence the priority should be trying to keep it healthy.

The same goes for pets too, for that matter.

The liver is amazing organ, and can regenerate itself with extraordinary powers in a healthy body.

But an unhealthy body can be even too much for the liver to do its incredible work, and the result scan be fatal.

Chronic disease can also afflict the liver. But let’s talk about dogs in particular and how their livers can be affected. Don’t forget too that the liver can be affected by disease.

Firstly there’s Chronic Active Hepatitis Dogs, somewhat similar to cirrhosis of the liver but of course not caused by alcohol. The causes are often unclear, but the site is always the liver.

What happens is that a flood of antibodies are produced by the body and these affect the liver cells, making them tough and fibrous and therefore making it harder for the blood to feed the liver.

Toxic compounds exacerbate the problem, and if left unchecked liver failure can result.

Specific breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers often get this terrible disease.

Other diseases which can affect the liver are cancer and hepatitis.

Nutramax Denamarin with SAMe for dogs is an oral supplement designed to support liver function.

It contains S-Adenosylmethionine SAMe which stimulates glutathione production and silybin.

Glutathione is an antioxidant to be reckoned with, and SAMe helps nourish, renew and stop liver cells from dying.

The benefits are two-fold as a healthy liver will eradicate toxins from the body much more speedily.

You need to choose the correct dosage for the size of your dog, it comes prepared for small, medium and large dogs.

Produced in doses suitable for small, medium and large dogs, Denamarin is a small expense that could end up saving you thousands of dollars and your dog’s life.

Doesn’t it make sense?
